Albuquerque police are questioning the homeowner. They're also looking for someone else who might be connected. He's described as a man who might be driving a white Mazda.

It was the latest violent incident in what proved to be a busy holiday weekend for police.

"It's been an extremely long, exhausting weekend for our field officers, but also for our homicide detectives. This is their third homicide callout of the weekend," Officer Tanner Tixier said.

While police were driving to the scene of the shooting, police said, someone crashed into a sergeant's vehicle. Police aren't sure if that person is connected to the incident, but they are questioning the driver.

More information is expected later on Tuesday.
